[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1831457, member: 14668"] I started in '88, was on paper for two or three years before we got the DIAD 1. I would say that the job is easier today than it was in 1988. We aren't spending 12 hours a day fighting package cars that were intentionally designed to make our jobs harder and shorten our careers. The cars are bigger and faster. We have technology like cell phones and GPS and the ability to communicate instantly with the center in regards to dispatch issues. We have better contract language; when I started there was no such thing as 9.5 penalty pay or 8 hour requests. And the same technology that the company tries to use to harass us can actually be turned around and used against them if we are smart enough to know how. When I started, there was a WOR and it said you were 2 hours overallowed and you couldn't dispute it or argue with it. Now you can ask them to show you on Telematics where you are losing that two hours and they cant tell you because its BS and they know it. [/QUOTE]
